Dear All,           A huge thank you to all of you who helped at the BGSC Open Day on Saturday 16th May. Despite the inclement weather, we had a great turnout of visitors - hopefully a good proportion will join!      One visitor in particular commented on the friendliness of the club, how welcome we made him feel and that we were more than happy to answer his questions (which was not the reception he had received at another local club!).                          Thanks again to everyone who turned up to support this event.
 
Kind regards.     Karen  (Millington)
